Kira Yamato is the civilian who soon becomes the pilot of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. He is not afraid to cry, risks things too much, and isn't afraid of screwing up. Later, he becomes the pilot of the legendary Freedom Gundam, and defies all laws of physics to save the day. He then gets the crap beaten out of him by Shinn Asuka. He later pilots an awesome Gundam which doesn't add up to laws of gravity, physics, or plain common sense: the Strike-Freedom.

Kira was always risking things, and he always cried. But he was a nice guy!
